Pygmy Blue Tongue Project Survey

Pygmy bluetongues are considered critically endangered in Australia. They were thought to be extinct until their re-discovery in 1992. Between 1992 to 1997 a study was conducted to assist in research and ecology of the Tiliqua adelaidensis, in determining the habitat of the species. Between 2005 and 2010 there were 23 known populations of Pygmy Bluetongues in the Mid North. The project during this time aimed to survey and monitor 9 known populations of the lizard to develop a better understanding of their population processes. The Pygmy Blue Tongue Project Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

侏儒蓝舌石龙子（Pygmy bluetongues）在澳大利亚被列为极危物种。该物种曾被认为已灭绝，直至1992年被重新发现。1992年至1997年间，一项针对阿德莱德侏儒蓝舌石龙子（Tiliqua adelaidensis）的研究得以开展，旨在辅助该物种的相关生态学研究并明确其栖息生境。2005年至2010年间，澳大利亚中北部地区已知的侏儒蓝舌石龙子种群共有23个。此阶段实施的项目针对其中9个已知种群展开调查与监测，以期更深入地理解该物种种群动态过程。侏儒蓝舌石龙子项目调查（Pygmy Blue Tongue Project Survey）隶属于南澳大利亚州生物调查计划（Biological Survey of South Australia Program），该计划自1971年起至今在全州范围内开展一系列系统性调查，其总体目标是建立南澳大利亚州动植物生物多样性的基础名录。
